Taste: It cracks me up when craft breweries make standard pale lagers
that aren’t any better the macro adjunct variety. I’m not sure I
understand the point. Full Sail Session Premium Lager is a good example
as it’s an all-malt brew, which is fine, but isn’t genuinely enjoyable.

If you’ve had any all-malt American pale lager you’re already familiar
with the palette to this one. The taste is mild, bordering on bland.
Pale light malt flavor is present from beginning to end. I was hoping
for some sweetness and/or some noticeable hop presence, but neither is
to be found here. That’s a shame because this beer could be tweaked
easily to make it stand out from the crowd. Thankfully there’s no
off-flavors or other flaws, but I’m not going to rate it highly just
because it’s "craft."

Drinkability: Given the name of this beer you go into it with an
expectation. While Full Sail Session Premium Lager is highly drinkable
with its light body, crisp mouthfeel, and smooth finish, I wouldn’t
consider it particularly sessionable. It needs to be more than just
tolerable tasting, for starters. Also, at 5.1% ABV it’s a bit bigger
than what is classically defined as a "session beer" (4% ABV in the UK,
4.5% ABV in the USA).

63.3 - 3.5B-ABOVE AVERAGEThe lowest I can rate a beer and still honestly give it a thumbs up. The attributes are enough to overshadow the flaws. Nothing I'd jump for joy about, but a drinkable, satisfactory beer to be sure.

53.0 - 3.2C+AVERAGE/NEUTRALNot quite a good beer, not quite a bad beer. I don't have a strong opinion either way about it. There may be something to like here, but there's also something holding it back.

42.8 - 2.9CBELOW AVERAGEThe best of the worst. A beer with noticeable flaws and perhaps some minor attributes. Tolerable for a serving, but no reason to seek it out. A genuine thumbs down, but not something I despise.

32.6 - 2.7C-TOLERABLEWhile not the worst beer, there's probably nothing about it that I like. Plenty of off-putting features. I can tolerate a single serving, but would recommend avoiding it.
